Not a crime but he didn't do it right. To maximize the impact when delivering a dead body of any kind you should dismember the body and deliver it in several packages over the course of several days. Use different methods of delivery each time so it is always a surprise, hand deliver the first one, send one through the mail, one UPS if at all possible one interoffice mail. Always include as bizzare a nore as possible, you might have to do a little research to get the tone just right and stick with a central theme It is a branding opportunity and if you get caught you want the media to have a snappy name to refer to you by.

I'll have to remember that. :)

angrycrank:As a law student, I worked for a faculty union and one of my assignments was to review tenure revocation cases to see exactly what it takes to get fired if you're a tenured prof.

One dude sent a dead bird to a student for some reason that I'm sure made perfect sense to him. Got to keep his tenure because there were "medical circumstances."

I think it counts as terrorism, not the "Homeland Security needs to mobilize for or people die" sort, just the classic "I drew a picture of me wearing your skin and you WILL LIKE IT" kind. Or at least harassment.

Dude, you guys are all freaking out waaaaaaaay too much about this guy sending teh mayor a bird. He was probably just showing his thanks by giving him a present, my dog does similar things all the time.
